Is this bud ?? First time grower

[Smokeythebear1100]

Yes, just continue with your water/feed schedule using mostly your Big Bloom and Tigerbloom, some calmag and any beneficial microbe you add all the way until ~2weeks before harvest. maybe add in a little grow big for some N if they start to yellow too early or drastically. 2weeks before you harvest, dial nutes way back and let them fade before you harvest.

how many weeks till harvest do you thing they will be 8 weeks Saturday ?

 

[ColoradoHighGrower]

You probably have at least 3-4 weeks to go at least...

 

[PadawanWarrior]

what should my nexts step be just fed ph balanced water at 6 with 5ml calmag to all plants should I continue the fox farm trio

I'm assuming you're growing in soil. Is it FFOF?

Personally I'm not a fan of the Fox Farm nutes, except Big Bloom since I'm keeping shit organic.

It sounds and looks like your pH is low. I would aim for a pH of 6.5 in soil. If you are in soil, 6.0 is too low.

Okay cool I’m fine with waiting

My soil is at 6.5 and I water at 6 ph does the trio harm the weed ? And some of the leaves on one plant look like this what should I do

If you're going to pH to water, aim for 6.5.

There's nothing wrong with the Trio. I just don't use chemicals anymore. I'm reusing my soil, so I keep it organic.

My soil is ph at 5 after my feeding today it was at 6.5 I PhD my water at 6 so confusing. Is the sf 2000 a good light ?

I would water with a higher pH. If you're soil pH was 6.5, I would recommend feeding at 6.5. Since yours is 5, I would recommend watering with a higher pH. 6.0 water is way too low if your soil is already at 5.0. @Renfro and @DoubleAtotheRON can probably help more if they're around.

And I've never used the Spider Farmer lights, but they look pretty decent, and have a lot of good reviews on here.

Did u see the picture of the leaf ? The one plant leaves are like that on some part of the plant the other plants just have like purplish on edges of leafs is that normal I think I need a fan to push air over canopy and how high should I hang both lights from top of plnt I appreciate the help

If im reading this right, your soil ph'd at 5 AFTER you fed it at 6.5?.... if so, you need to up that quite a bit to correct, and do it with a good flush. If it were me, I'd flush it at 11.5 PH'd feed And if you just fed, its ok to do it now and not wait until she dries out for the next feeding. Also, how are you checking your PH? Run off?, PH pen? Soil probe?

I suspect pH, but listen to the Bandit, lol.

Kinda crazy the Smokey needs help from the Bandit though, hahaha.

I got a soil probe and ph pen for water how did it drop so much? Will the plants die at ph 11.5 flush ??? Should I sledge hammer flush ?

I don’t want them to die if I flush tomorrow wouldn’t that hurt them by over watering ?? And should I used sledge hammer ?

If you have peat based/bark mulch soil, it will want to constantly crash your PH. My soil comes in at ~5.1-5.4.. I like the soil because it drains really well, but it does have that caveat of ph crashing. So, we feed our young clones at 11.5 for the first 2 feedings, and then lower it to ~8 or 9 until it settles in the mid 6's. And in order for us to maintain mid 6's, we have to feed in at 7.0-7.3 for the whole run. .. sometimes a little higher. Your plants will not die at 11.5 flush IF you soil buffers it in the correct range (mid 6's). You need a really good meter to monitor this tho.

If you watered/fed today.. then no, you won't be overwatering. If you wait for 2-3 days and then flush, yeah, they may go through drowning.

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

And should I used sledge hammer ?

Sure!.. a little Peter Gabriel never hurt nobody. .. I really don't know what you mean by that.

Yep, you just need to put this song on a loop, and your plants will thrive.

Seriously though, what he's talking about is a product meant to flush out the chemical nutes and salts. I've never used it myself so I can't really comment on it.

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

Ugh....Quarantine is a bitch. Im not usually a smart ass, sorry. I just didn't know what you were talking about. BUT!.. if you have a good PH soil probe, you can keep track of your progress on the higher PH feedings until you reach your goal range.

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

I will usually see high readings (6.9 or so) on a fresh wet feeding, and in 24 hours, you will see it drop to 6.5-6.3 range as the soil drains and dries. As the soil learns the buffer you are trying to get to, it gets easier to maintain it with less ph.

This is what one of my plants are looking like today this looks like bad shape to me pls someone tell me what I should do to fix her ? @PadawanWarrior
